It’s Mardi Gras. And that means KING CAKE! The celebration between the Epiphany and Fat Tuesday (the day before Lent starts) when Justice, Faith, and Power is represented by Purple, Green, and Gold (respectively).

And what most embodies this special season, Louisiana’s amazingly unique and wonderful food, and our penchant here for eating that food than… King Cake! And there’s lots of it…everywhere. In 2015, we saw home bakeries, commercial bakeries, local grocery stores, big chain stores (ugh), donut shops, cupcake bakers, etc. all getting into the mix of making their own versions, styles, and takeoffs of the Louisiana Mardi Gras delicacy: King Cakes. In fact, in the last few years NOLA.com put together an interactive 2015 King Cake Guide and Map for Baton Rouge where you can check out all that our area has to offer in the way of King Cakes (Check out our video from NOLA.com’s guide below.) And in all the way to 2018 - its only gotten more creative and competitive out there. As the sheer amount and creativity of Mardi Gras King Cakes in Baton Rouge evolves and grows, its actually good for us and GREAT for you. It forces Calandro’s to stay ahead, up our game, and generally just ROCK with King Cakes even more than in the past. So check out below for all of the details on Calandro’s King Cakes, and just how we’ve...
